Yellow peeling: features and process

Improper diet, stress, poor ecology and hard work make the skin of a modern woman lifeless and dull. And if we neglect the timely and effective care of the epidermis, you can look much older than his years. Fortunately, cosmetologists know exactly what to do so that the skin recovers quickly and again shines with health. To do this, you must perform a series of skin care procedures, one of which is yellow peeling.

This procedure includes a set of effective measures for chemical exfoliation of the cornified layers of the epidermis. At the same time, it is possible not only to renew the tissues, but also to eliminate the external manifestations of age-related changes, restore the skin and even lighten the pigment spots. Peeling got its name due to the fact that the product applied to the skin has a beautiful yellow color. This color is due to the presence in the peeling of ascorbic acid. But the main component of the yellow peeling composition is retinoic acid. It is an organic substance with which you can quickly activate the regeneration of skin cells, as well as accelerate the synthesis of fibroblasts.

Yellow peeling can be applied to the skin of the face, eyelids, neck, décolleté and hands. As a result of the active components of the skin becomes more fresh, updated, beautiful and well-groomed. The protective properties of the cells are greatly enhanced.

The indisputable advantages of the procedure include:

• absolute painlessness - no burning and discomfort;
• almost complete absence of complications;
• rapid recovery of the skin after the procedure - active peeling passes within 3-7 days;
• instant results - you will notice an improvement in the skin after the first session;
• universality - absolutely suitable for any skin type, even for sensitive skin;
• has no restrictions for patients on age;
• delicate effect on skin tissue;
• copes with all major skin imperfections;
• peeling is allowed to perform in the summer, while most other procedures are usually carried over to the winter and off-season;
• duration of the result - it lasts up to six months;
• The full course of procedures is quite short - on average, only 5 sessions are required for a full recovery of the skin.

If you compare the effect of the components of yellow peeling with other drugs, then most of all it looks like the effect of two types of hormones: steroid and thyroid. And compared to 1 session of glycolic acid, retinoic is 10 times more effective.

But despite the huge list of advantages of the procedure, it has a number of disadvantages:

• The effect of yellow peeling on the skin should be quite long. Therefore, after the completion of the procedure, the yellow color is not washed off. You will have to do it yourself, already at home, after a few hours. Of course, all this time you can stay in the cosmetology clinic, but not every patient has plenty of free time. However, if you schedule the procedure at the weekend, you can easily cope with such inconveniences.
• Immediately after peeling, it is strictly not recommended to go to the seashore, since intense solar radiation can damage the skin and lead to hyperpigmentation, which then will have to be removed for a long time.However, some peeling procedures are not allowed at all during the summer period. Therefore, yellow peeling is the only alternative among such procedures.
• Also, some patients note that after yellow peeling, they notice a slight itching on the skin. But this effect does not manifest itself at all.

As you can see, in comparison with all the advantages of the procedure, the listed drawbacks look completely uncritical.

For a start, it is important to understand the terminology. Many people confuse retinoic and retinol peels, but these are 2 different procedures. The main difference lies in the composition of the products: the main component of the yellow peeling is retinol, vitamin A. Retinoic acid is an organic acid, which has a more intensive therapeutic effect.

Yellow peeling is also divided into 2 categories depending on the duration of the procedure.

• One day This is the most common and loved by women option of performing yellow peeling. Among its main advantages are a quick recovery period, minimal swelling and redness. The procedure is divided into 2 stages: the first is performed in the cosmetic booth, and the second can be done at home. The specialist prepares the patient's skin for peeling and applies a special remedy, all this will take about half an hour. Then the patient can, independently, at home, repeat the application of yellow peeling. It is necessary to leave the composition on the skin until the morning, and then completely wash it off.
• Two days This type of peeling is already more complex and requires much more time. For about 4 hours, the active substance is applied to the skin and washed off, applied again, etc. The final layer of the exfoliant must be kept on the skin for 2 hours. Therefore, a woman can wash it off by herself upon arrival home. But the procedure does not end there. On the second day, you must repeat the entire sequence of actions. The above manipulations take a lot of time, but the result will be simply amazing.

This cosmetic procedure is divided into types not only by time, but also by the degree of impact on skin tissue.

Depending on this yellow peeling is:

• Surface. It is distinguished by the most delicate effect on the epidermis, therefore it is even suitable for application to the delicate and thin skin around the eyes. Also, experts recommend making it to people with very sensitive skin. But it is necessary to carry out a superficial peeling not more often than once a month.
• Median. This procedure has a more intense effect on the skin and gives a pronounced peeling effect. Therefore, the middle peeling is ideal for women who want to get rid of facial pigmentation. One session takes about 4 hours, runs for 2 days. The number of procedures is directly curled on the condition of the skin and the desired result. On average, complete renewal and whitening of the skin can be achieved after 2 weeks.

Depending on the origin of the components in the composition of the active substance for the procedure, it can be synthetic and natural. Synthetic yellow peeling is performed using a highly concentrated substance. It is applied twice every other day. The effect of such a substance is quite strong, similar to the median peeling. Natural peeling is much softer and more delicate.

You can enroll to a beautician to make a yellow peeling, if you have noticeable facial wrinkles, skin hyperpigmentation or freckles, hyperkeratosis, scars and skin irregularities. It also helps to cope with problem skin and quickly improve its appearance.However, at some stages of acne, peels are contraindicated, so it is necessary to consult with a dermatologist. Also, the indication for the procedure is skin wilting, dull complexion, loss of elasticity and elasticity. Make this procedure can anyone in the age of 25 to 50 years. If you are not yet 25 years old, but you want to try peeling, do it only after agreeing such a decision with your doctor.

Regarding many other peeling options, yellow is the safest. However, there are several limitations to its use.

We list the most important of them:

• individual intolerance to the components of the drug;
• severe somatic ailments;
• acute inflammatory processes;
• rosacea, eczema, dermatitis, rosacea;
• liver problems (hepatitis);
• herpes and purulent rash on the surface of the skin;
• taking drugs that contain vitamin A.

The listed contraindications can be applied to almost any cosmetological effects on the skin. But the specific and extremely important point that you should know about yellow peeling is its embrytoxicity. Retinoic acid is retained in the tissues for several months, due to which a long-lasting positive effect is achieved. However, this property of the substance can be harmful for women during pregnancy and lactation. Moreover, after a retinoid peeling, experts strongly recommend using 6–12 months of use reliable contraceptives to prevent pregnancy. After all, an increased concentration of vitamin A in the body adversely affects the development of the fetus.

But do not be afraid of these contraindications. If you follow all the rules for working with active substances, you will get well-groomed, radiant young skin without any consequences.

In order for the effect of any cosmetic procedure to be fully achieved, it is necessary to perform preparation for the session according to all the rules. Specifically, before the yellow peeling preparation begins at least 14 days, and preferably in a month.

Here are a number of mandatory preparatory procedures:

• Make an appointment with a dermatologist to conduct a thorough examination of the condition of the epidermis. It is important to exclude all possible contraindications to the procedure, as well as to determine the degree of intensity and number of sessions of yellow peeling. You will also need to make a pregnancy test in the required order, even if you are completely sure that you are not pregnant.
• Make a test for individual intolerance to all components of the active substance. This ensures the elimination of problems after the session.
• At least 2 weeks before the first purification procedure, it is necessary to start using light surface-acting agents that contain fruit acids in their composition. You can also add to the daily care creams or ointments based on retinoids with a concentration of not more than 0.1%. This will help soften skin tissue and prepare them for chemical attack.

• If your skin is sensitive and dry, it is recommended that at least one mesotherapy session be performed before dry cleaning. You can also do biorevitalization. If you combine these procedures, you will be able to increase the ability of cells to recover. It will also be an excellent preventive measure to prevent possible complications.
• For women whose skin often has herpes or purulent inflammation, it is better to take drugs in advance to help prevent the disease.
• At least 7-10 days prior to peeling, it is forbidden to visit a tanning bed or be exposed to intense sunlight.

Yellow peeling is really done not only in the cosmetology office, but also at home. However, this is a rather serious procedure that requires certain skills and knowledge. In addition, at the disposal of specialists is always only the best drugs tested by time. Therefore, cosmetologists do not strongly recommend carrying out such dry cleaning at home if you want to achieve a truly effective result and avoid negative consequences.

Consider the main stages of the peeling in the salon:

1. Cleansing the skin. Even if you have not applied makeup, the epidermis must be well cleaned from dust, sebum and other contaminants.
2. The application of the active substance. With the help of a soft brush, the beautician distributes the product over the entire surface of the treated area. The result is something like a yellow mask.

Further, the sequence of actions depends on the type of preparation for peeling. If you are given a one-day procedure, then after applying the remedy, the patient goes home, having received detailed instructions from a specialist on how and when to wash off the mask. If the procedure lasts 2 days, the specialist makes several applications and washings of the active substance, repeating the whole procedure completely on the second day.

Each peeling preparation is accompanied by a separate application guide, which determines all the details of the procedure. But in general, for many means the stages are the same.

To the result of the yellow peeling manifested itself to the maximum, it is important not only to follow the rules of preparation and execution of the procedure. It is extremely important to take care of the skin and after cleansing. This is due to the fact that the active rejuvenating effect of the components that are part of the yellow peeling does not stop even several months after the completion of the procedure. Cells are renewed for another 3-4 months, contrary to the popular belief that the recovery period after chemical exposure ends several days or a week.

If the mask needs to be washed off at home, and not in the cosmetology cabinet, it is necessary to do this extremely carefully and with special care so that no traces of the preparation remain on the face. This should be done using a large amount of water and in some cases mild soap. Specific recommendations you must appoint a doctor. After the drug is completely removed from the skin, redness will be noticeable on it, there will be a clear feeling of tightness or even a slight itch. If the peeling was applied to the area around the eyes, then the eyelids may swell a little.

After washing, it is permissible to apply the necessary amount of healing ointment to the skin (“Bepanten”, “Panthenol”). This will significantly reduce the unpleasant feeling of tightness and speed up the healing process of tissues. Sometimes experts write out a prescription for various hormonal drugs for patients to reduce swelling and redness. But it is better to refuse such agents, since they will break the immunity of already damaged skin. Also, some patients may have chills and fever on the second day after peeling. Do not worry about this and take any medication. This state will pass by itself.

Redness begins to decrease already on the 3rd day after the procedure. Following this, the tissues inevitably begin to peel off. It is due to the exfoliation of the cornified skin particles and the rejuvenating and smoothing effect is achieved. Some patients note that there is no flaking during the rehabilitation period at all. This is due to the fact that the small flaked skin scales are so small and thin that you can simply not notice how they disappear during washing.

In the first week after chemical peeling it is impossible:

• to go to the bath and sauna - so you only increase the swelling and redness of the tissues;
• visit the public pool - you increase the risk of infection in the skin;
• perform heavy physical exercises - increased sweating may cause the development of acne;
• sunbathing in the sun and in a solarium - this will lead to the appearance of age spots, which then have to be removed for a long time.

A week after the procedure, the skin will still be slightly tightened, so you will need to regularly apply special moisturizing non-comedogenic creams that your dermatologist will select for you individually. Also, the face will become noticeably brighter. This effect is caused by a strong decrease in melanin production in the cells. If on the skin there are closed comedones and rashes that you want to remove, do not do it in any case. Mechanical cleaning can be carried out only at least 14 days after the chemical peeling procedure.

A full opinion on the results of the procedure can be made only after a month. You will notice that the skin has become noticeably cleaner, more radiant, smoother and more toned. The complexion will be smooth and beautiful.

• Do not perform a chemical peeling procedure on the eve of an important event or vacation.
• Be sure to do a full course of procedures. Indeed, in some cases, to achieve an optimal result, a single session is not enough.
• Yellow peeling can be done in the summer. But if possible, it is still worth postponing such a procedure for winter or autumn. This will help you prevent premature photoaging of tissues.
• With special scrupulousness and responsibility go to the choice of a cosmetologist. Be sure to ask him about experience and qualifications. Chemical peeling is a rather serious procedure, and only true professionals should be trusted to perform it.
• Pay special attention to skin care during the recovery period. It depends on this how qualitative the effect of the procedure will be.

Recently, the yellow peeling procedure has become increasingly popular. On the Internet, you can find hundreds of reviews of patients who have already done this procedure. However, not every woman immediately decides to chemical peels, because not everyone can afford to appear at work with noticeable peeling on the face and without makeup. But on the other hand, those girls who nevertheless did dry cleaning are simply delighted with the procedure. It’s a long time to keep the drug on the face, to perform repeated procedures and to tolerate even minor ones, but still there are few painful sensations. But after the manifestation of the result it becomes clear that the efforts were not in vain.

Many patients who once suffered from acne of varying severity used peeling to eliminate scars and skin irregularities - the so-called post-acne. For these purposes, yellow peeling fits perfectly. Also a lot of positive feedback from women in adulthood. With the help of the full course of procedures, they managed to significantly reduce the number of wrinkles, tighten the skin, restore its smoothness and elasticity.

Most of the patients who were unhappy with the effect of the procedure, usually simply did not follow the recommendations of the beautician for skin care or had an insufficient number of sessions, or did not do a preliminary test for individual intolerance to the components. Another most common cause of a poor result from a procedure is the selection of an unqualified specialist, who was unable to properly explain all the details of this particular cosmetic procedure.
